Over 8 calls, 4 months - but still no payment
I rarely leave reviews, but this experience has been beyond disappointing. I’ve been waiting for payment on my claim since February 2026. The first check was issued missing my unit number (even though i had a unit number on file). After calling a month later, a replacement check was sent—with the same mistake. I called again after the required 30‑day waiting period, and now more than another month has passed with still no payment.
This has resulted in nearly 8 phone calls and five months of waiting since the claim was submitted, with absolutely no resolution. The lack of care, accuracy, and urgency is unacceptable. Based on this experience, I will not be renewing my policy.

The representative Daniel was generous…
The representative Daniel was generous and confident to inform me about the the process. I took the decision to get the insurance right away because I sense that he was a trusted person. Smooth transition and I was happy after he discussed the insurance in such a way to make me feel comfortable and be insured by my new baby ( the Napper ).
